Sweet Temptation

Sweet Series ~ Read for the first time Early 2013 got them from the library. Bought the books December 2013 so I could re-read them. Yummy series with explicit sex scenes. I read books 1 to 6 quickly. Giving each book 5 stars.~~Bookshelves on my Goodreads: a-series, aa-erotica-5-10stars-amazing, author-maya-banks, authors-for-erotica, authors-for-romance, genre-action-packed-romance, genre-erotic-suspense, genre-erotica, genre-erotica-bdsm, genre-suspense, read, read-in-2013, sexual-mf, sexual-mfm-or-fmf-or-more, sexual-toys-or-objects, species-human~~Review:This series is excellent. All I gotta say is WOW!! Hot, steamy, very explicit sex scenes and a for sure recommended read!!Must read in order since all of the characters are in all of the books once they are brought into the storyline. There is a lot of new and old friendships, Hot Steamy sex. They all have good suspense, action, romance, BDSM, Spanking, bondage, multiple partners and more. . . keep you right at the edge of your seat and wanting more.This series is much better than "50 Shades of Grey". Since it has more with bondage, spanking, more characters. . yummy ~ would recommend and would read again.If you enjoy this series I would recommend reading "Wicked Play Series" by Lynda Aicher and "Masters of the Shadowlands" by Cherise Sinclair. Both are excellent BDSM series with a lot of hot steamy sex scenes and more. Need to read these series in order, the characters continue thru the books. . . . I will be re-reading both series in time since I have them on my kindle. :-)~~~

Sweet Temptation is one that shouldn't be missed. However, if you are offended by BDSM, this isn't the book for you. The folks who are bashing the book, apparently aren't particularly familiar with the dynamics of a power exchange relationship within the world of BDSM. What you are reading isn't force or abuse. It's completely consensual and exactly what each partner in the relationship wants and needs. Those of you calling Angelina a doormat are simply wrong. Completely submitting to another person takes extreme strength. She is the furthest thing from a doormat. Yes, she does what Micah commands her to do. He is her master and she CHOOSES to respect & love him in that way. Micah couldn't "give" her to anybody if she didn't let him do it. And she lets him because she wants it just as much as he does. She's not a doormat and he is not an abuser. They are participants in a D/S relationship and are a beautiful example of it.Sweet Temptation is extremely romantic and full of love. Again, it simply depends on if you understand the dynamics of this sort of a relationship. There are plenty of examples of tender, loving sex between the lovers.I couldn't wait for Micah's story and it met all of my expectations and then some. Micah's involvement in BDSM has been referred to from the very first book in the series. The hints were there all along that he would be the incredibly intense Dom that he is. There was no sudden change in Micah's personality. He's still the laid back, loving, and caring guy we've all come to love. His Dom persona was simply never explored as deeply as it was in Sweet Temptation.If you enjoy stories involving BDSM and power exchange, you'll love Sweet Temptation. Even if you don't know much about it. If you really read the story and pay attention to what is said outright and what is implied through looks and feelings, you'll get the loving and romantic story that is there.This is a beautiful story and one I plan to keep and add to my library. In fact, I'd love to bring Micah home for my very own! ;) Thank you Maya! You've done it again!

Maya Banks Sweet Series has been one of my two favorite ongoing series for quite some time now. I was very honored that I was sent an ARC of both this book and I also received one for the previous book, Sweet Seduction, Nathan and Julie. I knew that this was going to be a very intense book and I was not disappointed in that. It was very intense; more so then even Sweet Persusion, Damon and Serena.While Sweet Seduction was a fun, light hearted romp this book, Sweet Temptation, was the total oppisite. Micah and Angelina were both so intense, they both knew what they were and what they both wanted. If you have not read the first three books, please read all of them before you read this one. You must know the origins of Micah to understand why and how this book is as it is. Micah is an Alpha Dom, a sharer, a lover of erotic pain, and intense to the max. Angelina is an Alpha Submissive, also a sharer, a lover of erotic pain and intense to the max. They are each other's mirror images; two halves two a whole. That is how Ms. Banks, I think, wants you to see them as. This is their journey to each other and coming to terms with their past and it was so increably wonderful to finally see Micah put the past behind him and let it go. Angelina also had to let go of her past, face it and rise above it to finally claim what she has wanted for so long, Micah.As you might have guessed, I loved this book. While I did enjoy the third book more, this one is a close 2nd followed by Sweett Per, and then the original Sweet Surrender, Faith and Gray. All of them are great books. I will thank my sister forever for introducing me to this series and all of Maya's books.Connor will be next, due out one year from now, April 2011 and that book is a go from what Ms. Banks has said on her website. I have heard that she does indeed want to do one more after that and I am hoping that it will go to Cole. He steals every scene he is in in this book, and I as so happy to see more of Connor, as a set up for his book I am sure, and see how much he comes to love Angelina. She brings back all the people from the previous books and there is one very hot scene with Nathan and Julie that tells you what they have been up too. Damon also plays a big part in this book, since he is Micah's best friend in Houston, that it was wonderful to see him and see how he and Serena are doing. Faith and Gray are great as well.This an awesome book; but it is very intense. I loved it, but it might not be for everyone. I cannot for Connor next and see what ringer he is going to go through. Connor likes them easy, but I am guessing that will not be the case.

the sweet surrender series is one of the best series I have ever read!I loved all the characters male and female.

Ich mag Serien sehr gerne, weil die Geschichten auf einander aufbauen. Allerdings kann ich es nicht leiden erst viele Monate auf den nächsten Band zu warten. Von daher war mir diese Serie ganz lieb, da sie ja schon recht umfangreich ist. Maya Banks schreibt sehr flüssig und einfühlsam. Die Geschichten sind stimmig und interessant. Ich habe die komplette Reihe am Stück gelesen und sehr gemocht!Hilfreich wäre es, wenn die Reihenfolge bei allen Büchern im Titel erkennbar wäre!

Slightly more intense than 1-3 but definatley worth the read!! I am absolutley hooked!! Opening your mind and losing your soul into these books is a great way to make you feel really good!! Really a recomended read for those of you who enjoy time out from normality and lose yourself into someone elses life!! :-)

Although the book was still good, it pushed my boundaries a bit too far to the point where I almost stopped reading the book. I also felt that the Micah in this book wasn't the same Micah I've come to love in the earlier books. Glad I finished it, I don't think I could bring myself to read this book again... It was a tad too hardcore for me
